Here's something I made a couple of years ago, very practical to use, cheap and lasts forever....
All you need is a old CO2 capsule, something to use as a stopper, a drill and a rat tail file. Drill out the piercing hole with a 4.5mm drill bit and then use the file to deburr and enlarge the hole as needed, don't go crazy though because if it's too big the bbs run run out everywhere when you tip it up ! When you get it the right size you get a trickle of 3-4 bbs at a time and then you just have to 'jiggle' it again and another 3-4 come out.
Really handy for loading the old 1911 as you can pull back the mag pin far enough to just pour the bbs straight into the magazine. Once it's fully loaded up and has it's cap on it I find that it holds at least 120 which is enough for two CO2's worth of shooting with it and filling it up is even easier ! Just pour a load of bbs into the palm of your hand and 'scoop' them up through the neck of the bb holder, very quick, very easy.
Another handy thing is that you can put a couple of drops of silicon oil in it once you've loaded it up and give it a good shake, that helps when feeding bbs from the magazine into the breech of your gun and if you've ever tried hand loading silicon oil covered bbs you'll know exactly how much of a fiddly & slippery job that is and you also end up with silicon oil all over your fingers which is never good for trigger control ! At least with this little tool it's far easier, cleaner and has much better results.
